A burmese Fairy story

Fairy tales are popular among thu
burmese, and there is one which
comes from over the border in Siam
which was told us by Siamese The
exaggerations all hang together arts
tically, and are in the same key as Il
| were.
| There was once king who heard
That there WAS an enormous giant In a
far country, and he declared that he
should never rest until he had hair
Of the giants head. So he sent his
fleet, and they sailed and they sailed
and they sailed for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and at last one day, In the
afternoon, 1t became suddenly dark,
and they stuck fast, and could get
neither forward nor backward. Now.
the TACT was that they got inside of q
hole In sort of carrot, the smallest
vegetable in the giants kingdom. And
behold, the next morning the giants
children went out to fish, and as thew
went they picked up two or three Gle
plants on their way for bait, but they
were only able TO catch few Of the
very smallest fishes in the country
"s0mething equivalent to your min
nows," said the narrator. And, as
they were going back, they saw the
carrot growing by the waters edge,
and pulled II up to put ltinto the curry
and inside 1t was the whole fleet.
After they got home, the giant threw
the fish and carrot into the pot in order
to boil them, when the feet rose out
OF the root to the top OF the water,
with all the men in 1t.
"What are those curious inseccts?"
said the giant, peering down into the
pot.
The men tried to shout to the giant,
and tell him what 1t was they wanted
but their voices were too weak, and he
could not hear word they said. AT
length he lifted them up to his ear In
his hand, and whole boats crew
marched In al the hole and went ever
such long way up inside; and then
they all shouted together, and told
him they had come from their king to
ask him for hair of his head. So at
last he was able to hear what, even
then, seemed to him only whisper.
Unlike his kind, the giant was ap.
parently as good-natured as he was
big; he gave them the hair, lifted them
back TO the sea, where the hair, when
put on board the fleet, nearly sank it
after which he pulled out his cheeks
and gave tremendous blow, which
carried the fleet straight home hun
dreds of miles at one go.

The Late Judge yNoottcn.

When Judge Wootten was In thil
city last week he remarked, in answer
TO . question In reference 10 his health
that he never felt better in his life with
the exception of bad cold, and 1t II
said that as he WAS going home on
Thursday lady sitting immediately
In front OF hin In the car Insisted or
having the window open. 1t ID thought
that the cold draught of air which
rushed In aggravated this cold and
caused 1t to develop into the fatal pnen
monia. Upon reaching his home IL
Georgetown he was chilled through
and ON Friday complained Of feeling
quite unweli. On Friday night he wa
very sick, but as he was alone In the
house he could not summon bis physi
clan, DIR. G. ii Richards, until Satur
day morping. Az coon Ms the physician
eaw him he Uncovered that be was suf
fering with pneumonia. and tSat his
condition was very critical, although
he had hopes that notw outstanding hi,
advanced age his naturally robust con
stitution might enable him to survive
the at tack
On Sunday 1t became evident that
there was but little grounds for hope,
and DIR. Nathan Pratt OF Milford wal
summoned In consultation. Word was
also sent 20 several OF his relatives ri
Milford and else where, and they hast
ened 10 his bedside. On Monday mig ht
1t became evident that the end wa.
near, but he passed through the night
and did not expire until rs O'Clock
yesterday NJ orning.
The arrangements for the funeral wert
perfected yesterday, and 1t will take
place at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The interment will be ct st. George.
Chapel, Indian River Hundred.
Revolutions Of respect were yesterday
adopted by both bran ches Of the Legis
lature, which will be found In the rt =
gular proceedings
The mem ers OF the bar OF thl,
county will hold o meeting at 4 o'c' ock
this afternoon at the Court House to
take action in reference to his death,
and adopt measures for attending the
funeral.
Speculation is already INDUCED In az
to his successor, and while several
prominent lawyers Of Sussex have been
Rsadoned 10 this connection, among

A Young Mans First Thousand Dollar
Industrial Review.

A Young Mans First Thousand Dollars.
Industrial Review.
The first thousand dollars young
man earns and saves will generally
settle the question OF business life with
him. 1t is the fruit OF personal indus
try. He gives his time and labor for
it. While he is thus earning and saw
ing it he must earn two or three or
perhaps four times as much to pay
current expenses. He is consequently
held eternally to the task of industry for
a considerable period. The direct
consequence to him is a steady, con-
tinuous and solid discipline in the
habits of industry, in patient, persis
tent, forcasting and self denying eff
forts, breaking up all the tendencies to
frivolity, and making him an earnest
economist of time. He not only learns
how to work, but he also acquires the
love of work; and, moreover, he learns
the value of what he has saved out of
his earnings. He has toiled for 1t, he
has observed its slow increase from
time to time, and in his estimation 1t
represents 80 many months or years of
practical labor.

Tho Mission TO Continue.

As announced In Yesterdays paper,
1t was intended to end the mission ser
vices at the old Swedes' Church, to.
night. But as many had expressed q
cesire that they might be continued
longer, 1t was decided to refer the mat.
ter to the assembled congregation. This
was dsne at the end of the service last
night, when, In response to the request
OF the pastor, the entire congregation
siRnifed their desire by standing up.
The mission priest, the Rev. Mr.. Har
rod, gives his services here freely as q
token OF love, feeling sufficiently re-
wsrded by the good he may do. The
mission will continue until Sunday
night.
